Script[]
| Magic Seller | Your license. |
| Magic Seller | As you obviously know from all those ethics courses at the wizardry school you must've attended… |
| Black Mage | Yes. Uh, the ethics. I learned all about those. During my school. |
| Magic Seller | …We can't grant access to these monstrously powerful spells to any ol' Joe Jerk off the street. |
| Cut to somewhere else… | |
| Business Loaner | Mr. Jerk? |
| Joe Jerk | Sorry, I was thinking about how I wish I could cast spells. |
| Business Loaner | Yes, well we must complete this business loan paperwork. |
| Joe Jerk | Yes, of course. Please go on. |
| Business Loaner | Now then, are we calling it The Jerkin Hut or Joe's Jerkin Shack?. |
| Cut back to the shop | |
| Black Mage | What if I said my license is in my other robes and also that's a very plausible thing that could happen to anyone? |
| Magic Seller | A remarkably common problem among Mages in these parts. That'll be thirty million gil. |
| Black Mage | No, that's stupid and you're stupid. |
| Magic Seller | These are incredibly rare spells, sir. |
| Magic Seller | We're lucky to see one wizard in a generation able to cast their kind. |
| Black Mage | You whole business plan is to serve as many as one person every thirty-ish years? |
| Magic Seller | Were it not for Doomsday scenarios and the Legendary Warrior troups who fight them I'd have to abandon my ridiculous way of life. |
